9/11Good King Richard? : an account of Richard III and his reputation
Bookreader Item Preview
xii, 287 pages, 18 unnumbered pages of plates : 22 cm
"Richard III, the so-called 'last English King of England' and the wicked uncle of popular tradition, is the most controversial and enigmatic of monarchs. Still the Great Debate between traditionalists and revisionists rages on. Was he an enlightened legislator out of his depth in the political intrigues of his time? Or was he simply, brutally, the 'gargoyle on the great cathedral of English history'? Searching for the man behind the portraits, Jeremy Potter adduces a formidable array of colourful and quarrelsome voices from St Thomas More to Laurence Olivier."--Jacket
Includes bibliographical references (pages 274-276) and index
